contact a lawyer immediately, do not post about this anymore online. specifically a lawyer that specializes in copyright/internet laws. do not go through any government agency to solve this or contact the BBB ; they will do nothing to help you.

I believe that this is a good idea – in this case it’s probably a good idea to consult a lawyer. At least to see what they say about your case.

In America the bigcorps have more power than the government (see: Twitter vs. Trump), and only the mob has some influence over the bigcorps. So good luck with lawyering up, but you're better off hacking the algorithm than going up against Google.

  I guess this is short time solution. In the long run algorithm will adapt and improove untill you are powerless even with mob backing. Or more likely you would be unable ta gather any reasonably sized mob.

    It's not supposed to be a libel-generating algorithm, if it improves then that would kind of solve the problem, right?

  They don't call the USA a capitalist country for no reason. It's pretty much intended that way, by design. Power to the people, who in turn gives money and clicks to megacorps that concentrate the power and obliged to answer to nobody except their P/L spreadsheet.

What claim of harm can the OP make? The harm is primarily to other people - they need to sue Google, not the OP.

  > was then replaced with the pastor in New York again Get the first person who was attacked to be party to the lawsuit. It’s clearly lible as it’s harming their reputation leading to an attack and they are aware it was incorrect the second time they make that connection.

I hope there's nothing a lawyer can do. It should be legal to publish public pictures of people next to the titles of books they didn't write. Maybe if it was defamation but I don't think that's her concern here - that people will treat her badly because they think she's black or religious or American. Not publishing a book with your real name would be a good start to not having uncomfortable things about your book or name shown on Google.
